communities, the scope and sheer number of properties gives it some real panache. Then add the Sunrise brand to it and think there is a lot of potential. Yedinak said the industry seems to be splitting into communities whose residents are with money or without. Real estate owners are beginning to place a huge premium on communities where individuals can pay for their own care and housing. This acquisition powerfully advances our strategic vision: Own the highest quality, private pay seniors housing communities in strong, growing, afuent markets and align with experienced, dynamic management teams, said George Chapman, Health Care REIT's chairman and CEO in a press release. Sunrise has been a leader in the transformation of seniors housing. This transaction positions us to build on our collaborative, relationship based investment philosophy and benet from the ongoing transformation of the sector. There are few opportunities to acquire assets of this quality in a transaction of this scale. Yedinak said Sunrise was ripe for purchasing because of its choices during the real estate bubble.

Case Western Links Insomnia To More Aggressive Breast Cancers
Researchers at Case Western University and its affiliated hospital in Cleveland have linked lack of sleep to more aggressive tumors in breast cancer victims. The research team examined more than 400 post-menopausal breast cancer victims and queried about their sleep habits. Those women who had reported less than six hours of sleep a night on average were more likely to have tumors with a genetic makeup more likely to make them recur. This is the first study to suggest that women who routinely sleep fewer hours may develop more aggressive breast cancers compared with women who sleep longer hours, said Cheryl Thompson, a Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and they studys lead author. We found a strong correlation between fewer hours of sleep per night and worse recurrence scoresthis suggests that lack of sufficient sleep may cause more aggressive tumors, but more research will need to be done to verify this finding and understand the causes of this association. The findings of the study were published in the most recent issue of the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
downhill. The company, he said, has been in restructuring mode for a few years, selling off assets and repositioning itself. This transaction is part of the ultimate restructuring, he said. One of the benets of the transaction for REIT is its interest in Sunrises ventures. According to a statement issued by REIT, the organization expects to own an average of 28% interest in 105 of Sunrises joint venture communities when the acquisition is complete. Thirty-seven will have purchase options in 2013, 13 have them in 2014. They have a pipeline where they can plan debt and equity offerings as well as property acquisitions, Yedinak said. They have a roadmap laid out for the next couple of years based on knowing when the options come into play. According to the companys statement, the acquisition makes REIT one of the largest owners of seniors housing in the world with more than 58,000 units in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Sunrise is expected to operate the communities, but the terms are not being disclosed because of condentiality agreements and continued negations. The deal is expected to be completed in the rst half of 2013. TAMMY WORTH
